Logan Central new premises moving forward

18 August 2010

Logan Central’s new library premises are now starting to take shape. The outside has been given a fresh coat of paint and the carpark is nearing completion. A major internal wall has been put in place.

The hole made in the external wall for the top level Community rooms is shown here, and preparation of the floor was carried out for installing extra columns required to support the mezzanine floor.

Demolition of the ramp is to allow construction of a new staircase that will go up to the mezzanine floor and create more floor area below, which in turn will become the Returns room.

New library for Logan Central!

16 July 2010

Over the past 6 months (and more!), development has been progressing for the new library for Logan Central. A total revamp has been carried out on the building, including internal and external structures as well as the surrounding car park. The new Logan Central library will be located in Wilbur Street, Logan Central with completion expected to be early / mid December 2010.

Take a peek at how the construction has been going…

Digging around, flattening out and then graveled, tarred and painted with lines.

A lick of paint making a difference.

Plenty of car parking will be available.

Internal walls and a lift shaft’s beginnings.
